im just curious about the fact if theres black people who are proskiers playing in movies or something like that cause its pretty rare i see them skiing
JL Ratchel. He's part of Candide's crew in La CLusaz and is in some of their movies (ww productions). By Candide's La Clusaz crew i mean him, lolo favre, loic and baptiste colomb-paton, jl ratchel + countless snowboarders. They all pretty much rip.
Kina Picket. He's sick! I saw him first in swedish posse movies. Last year he had a small segment in tangerine dream and he will be in anomaly too. In his skiing segments he just skis jackson hole, because that's were he lives.
Apparently (was told by my motorcycle instructor year back) black people generally and genetically have poor balance for things like skiiing and riding, which is why there aren't many in pro-skiing or championship racing. It sounds awful but apparently the whiter you get the better your balance, the worse your dancing and singing get:D
Please don't rip, it's just what I was told.
yes, actually, that's true. take for example runners from Kenya, they have thinner bones/sceletons than white people which again makes their bones lighter and therefore they are better able to maximize their ability to run long and fast. and of course like you mention it has a great deal to do with cultural things like how you live, work out etc.
but Demonic69, what you were told by your moto instructor, I don't think it's got anything to do with balance that black people mostly don't ski. that just sounds a little bit far off. but idk
well for the kenyans they live at higher alttitude and have higher levels of VO2max. So yeah the rest of the world doesnt reaally have a shot agasint kenya and ethopia at distance running.
I agree there, maybe he's a mutant :D Dunno where he heard it, but it does seem to ring true for the majority don't you think? Although culture could just as easily be blamed.
theres alot of amazing black fruitbooters out there, and id say that takes MORE balance than skiing. id say if black people where gay enough want to, they could dominate skiing.
